摘要

数字创新作为一种新兴的创新模式，引起了国内外学者的特别关注。运用文献分析法，通过对20年来文献的查阅和梳理，构建了数字创新的基本理论框架。在对数字创新内涵界定和特征分析基础上，根据表现形式将其划分为数字产品创新、数字服务创新、数字过程创新、数字组织创新和数字商业模式创新五种类型。提出数字创新具有提升运营效率、提高组织绩效、促进高质量发展和改变竞争格局的功能。认为数字创新由数字创新者、数字创新公民、数字技术、数字创新平台和数字创新文化五个基本要素组成。提出数字创新组织与管理包括数字创新战略制定、数字创新组织准备和数字创新运行管理等内容，并对未来研究方向进行了展望，以期为数字创新理论研究和实践活动提供有益参考和借鉴。

Abstract

As an emerging innovation model, digital innovation profoundly reshapes the behavior, process and essence of innovation, and plays an important role in promoting China′s innovation-driven, high-quality economic development and enhancing international competitiveness. Digital innovation, as the frontier of innovation management research, has attracted special attention from scholars at home and abroad. However, on the whole, foreign attention has been relatively early and research results are relatively rich, while domestic research results are relatively small, and theoretical research is relatively lagging, making it difficult for China to flourish. The practice of digital economy provides timely and effective guidance. Therefore, systematic combing and analysis of digital innovation research literature, and then constructing the basic theoretical framework of digital innovation, has important theoretical significance and practical value for promoting the theoretical research of China′s digital innovation, leading and guiding China′s digital innovation practice.The paper uses the literature analysis method to review and sort out the literature in the past 20 years, and construct the basic theoretical framework of digital innovation. The main research conclusions are as follows: (1) It systematically sorts out the connotation of digital innovation from the perspectives of process theory, consequence theory and holism, defines the connotation of digital innovation, and points out that digital innovation is the process of using digital technology to innovate, which can be used to describe some of the results of innovation or all of innovation. (2) It summarizes the characteristics of digital innovation from three aspects: technology, organization and management attributes. In terms of technical attributes, it has the characteristics of self-growth and integration. In terms of management attributes, it has the characteristics of innovation platformization, innovation combination and innovation distribution. In terms of organizational attributes, it has the characteristics of convergence, openness and dynamics. (3) According to the form of expression, this paper divides digital innovation into five types: digital product innovation, digital service innovation, digital process innovation, digital organization innovation, and digital business model innovation. It proposes that digital innovation has the functions of improving operational efficiency, improving organizational performance, promoting high-quality development and changing the competitive landscape. (4) It believes that digital innovation is composed of five basic elements: digital innovator, digital innovation citizen, digital technology, digital innovation platform and digital innovation culture. It proposes that digital innovation organization and management include digital innovation strategy formulation, digital innovation organization preparation, and digital innovation operation management. (5) It points out that the future research of digital innovation should focus on the process and mechanism of digital innovation, decision-making, organization and management, government management strategies, the expansion of research objects, and digital innovation research in the Chinese context.The theoretical contributions of this paper are as follows: First, it has done a systematic review of the digital innovation literature, clarified the basic theories such as the connotation and characteristics, types and functions, basic elements, organization and management of digital innovation, and established the basic theories of digital innovation The theoretical framework has certain reference significance for domestic digital innovation research. Second, it innovatively puts forward the connotation and characteristics of digital innovation. From the perspectives of process theory, result theory and holism, the connotation of digital innovation is sorted out, and the connotation of digital innovation is defined. It summarizes the characteristics of digital innovation in three aspects: technology, organization and management attributes, and has a certain degree of innovation. Third, it proposes the functions and basic elements of digital innovation. It summarizes the functions of digital innovation from the perspective of digital innovation empowerment, clarifies the basic elements of digital innovation, and expands and enriches the content of digital innovation research. Fourth, it puts forward the main content of digital innovation organization and management, which has certain guiding value for promoting digital innovation practice management.
